Abstract:
Global energy consumption in the post-war period recorded the highest values. Buildings are responsible for about 40% of annual energy consumption. The solution is to increase the energy efficiency of buildings by renovating and covering. Energy performance is also influenced by the use regime of buildings. For residential buildings, the minimum requirements for the design of buildings from the energy point of view are structured on the maximum thermal resistance of the construction elements.. The passive house is part of the category of energy efficient buildings. The elements that define energy-efficient buildings as thermal insulation and thermal insulation layer with compact volume, windows, a good orientation of the building, tightness, heat recovery are a challenge for researchers and builders. This paper proposes two case studies in America and Romania to optimize a passive house into a house with zero consumption, respectively a traditional building into a passive house. The materials used, the energy calculations, respectively the costs involved are presented.
